David Tepper has achieved a 28% annual return over the past two decades.

It's one of the best contrarian investors, he was right about Alibaba and now he has a new bet

Let me tell you about it🧵 Tepper left Goldman Sachs in 1992 and founded Appaloosa Management in 1993 with $57 million in capital

Appaloosa Management is renowned for its strong performance, particularly in distressed debt investing. Since its inception in 1993, the fund has reportedly compounded at an average annual return of over 25% for much of its history.

By 2010, it was reported that Appaloosa had returned $12.4 billion to clients since inception, ranking it among the top hedge funds for total client returns. This figure reflects returns up to 17 years after its founding.

Shift4 Payments $FOUR has a lot potencial

- Company its expanding
- Insiders are buying
- Boring businesses

Today, the company is worth $6 billion, operates in over +75 countries, runs one of the biggest payment processing companies in the world, and has a strong presence in hospitality.

The stock has grown at 18% per year, delivering over 130% in returns in 5 years (IPO in Jun 2020).

Here are a few reasons why I consider it a buy: 1) It's a boring business than operating in multiple industries like hospitality, gaming, casinos, hotels, and e-commerce, yet it's still growing, expanding, and adding new features.

The company generates over $100 million from subscription revenue and is expecting to add more venues in the coming years.

90% of the revenue comes from processing payment fees

Dev Kantesaria - Valley Forge Capital has one of the best porfolios out there

He has beat the market since 2008 with less than 10 stocks

Fair Isaac Corporation $FICO
S&P Global Inc. $SPGI
Mastercard Incorporated $MA
Visa Inc. $V
Intuit Inc. $INTU
ASML Holding N.V. $ASML (He bought at $780)
Equifax Inc. $EFX (He bought at $250)
MSCI Inc. $MSCI (He bought at $600)

I would add $AMZN or $MELI to his portfolio and leave it there for the next 10 years. $MSCI is a company he recently added, and he will probably DCA in the coming months or years.

The CEO is also buying, and the company has strong margins.

Stanley Druckenmiller’s Best Stock Tips:

He ran Duquesne Capital for 30 years, averaging 30% annual returns with zero down years.

Here are the tips:

1) Follow Macro Trends First

Start with the big picture. Druckenmiller always considers interest rates, inflation, global liquidity, and geopolitical risks before anything else.

2) Focus on Long-Term Themes

Identify multi year trends like AI, energy, Data center and e-commerce

3) Bet on secular growth stories

Invest in companies benefiting from structural shifts

4) size up when conviction is high

Druckenmiller doesn’t diversify for the sake of it. If he believes in an idea, he goes big.

5) Focus on cash flow, Not Hype

Ignore flashy earnings beats. Prioritize businesses generating real free cash flow with scalable potential.

6) Find Overlooked Growth Stocks

For example, MercadoLibre's institutional ownership hasn't changed much since 2018, but the stock has massively outperformed, even better than Amazon

7) Strong Management

Founders with 10–20 years of experience often know the business best. If they still show ambition and energy, that’s a great sign.

8) Adapt to Changing Markets

Don’t cling to old strategies. What worked yesterday might flop tomorrow, you gotta be more fexlible

9) Don’t Count on Shorting for Big Wins

Druckenmiller has admitted he’s never made money shorting stocks over his 40-year career. He does it occasionally for fun or hedging—but the real money is made long.

10) Avoid Leverage:

Despite being a macro trader, he doesn’t rely on excessive leverage

11) Preserve Capital:

‘I’ve learned many things from George Soros, but perhaps the most significant is that it’s not whether you’re right or wrong, but how much you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.’

12) Cut Losses Quickly:

If a trade is going against you and the thesis breaks, exit fast — don’t hope it comes back.

13) Don’t be afraid to change your mind

“Every great money manager I've ever met has been incredibly flexible.” Here’s the interview where he admitted that his short positions have been problematic.

He’s a brilliant investor, but shorting is a tough game.

My top list of possible short squeezes

1) $HIMS Short Interest % Float 32%
2) $ASTS Short Interest % Float 26.26%
3) $TMDX Short Interest % Float 26%
4) $ZIM Short Interest % Float 20%
5) $LUNR Short Interest % Float 16.93%
6) $RKLB Short Interest % Float 15.82%
7) $FOUR Short Interest % Float 14.62%

One of them offers an outstanding subscription program and affordable products.

Another is currently building its own aviation services for high-profile customers, covered by insurance companies and saving lives every day.

Three of these companies have contracts with NASA and Pentagon

Another is currently trading at cash value, focused on paying a massive dividend—but not executing buybacks yet.

The last one is a “boring” business providing transaction services and expanding worldwide. 1) $HIMS has over 2.4 subcribers right now, and the main target is to hit 10 million

The stock its heavily shorted so expect a lot volatilty, but its good to a good entry point

AI currently uses 3% of global energy — and it's growing faster than we can build new power plants. AI is growing faster than we think, and we don’t have enough power plants to support it.

LVMH (Louis Vuitton) is a wonderful company for the long term, and it’s getting close to being a strong buy.

here is why: LVMH was born in 1987 from the merger of two iconic French companies: Louis Vuitton, a luxury fashion house founded in 1854, and Moët Hennessy, itself a 1971 merger of champagne producer Moët & Chandon (1743) and cognac maker Hennessy (1765). This union created a powerhouse in the luxury goods sector, blending heritage with ambition.

The merger wasn’t smooth. Leadership clashes between Moët Hennessy’s Alain Chevalier and Louis Vuitton’s Henri Racamier led to instability. Enter Bernard Arnault, a young engineer-turned-businessman, who saw an opportunity amid the chaos.
